The Écomusée du fier monde invites you to discover industrial and working-class Montréal through the history of the Centre-Sud, one of the city’s oldest neighbourhoods.

Between 1850 and 1950, Montréal is Canada’s metropolis, and the Centre-Sud neighbourhood is its industrial heart. Travel back in time to the Industrial Revolution
– from the overall social phenomenon to the tiniest details of daily life.

Discovering the home of the ?comus?e du fier monde is worth a visit in itself. As a magnificent example of the 1920s architecture, the former G?n?reux public bath bears witness to a bygone age when most dwellings had no bath or shower facilities, and tells of the efforts to improve the living conditions in working-class neighbourhoods.
